Time to keep reviewing it and keep using it in my weak attempt of made-up daily conversation. 
47 days to JLPT N5 exam.

Im in the same situation now:
freshly finished N5. Going to cram some and let SRS progress before tackling N4.
But I donāt feel ācapableā of doing immersion yet. Is this actually possible to start doing it now? Guess Ill try; I guess it depends on the media and one should start with (very) simplified media?

Congrats!
Iām in the same boat, just finished N5 today, though I definitely need to cram more, 'cause some of these points are just not sticking (notably ~ććŖć conjugations, just canāt seem to get them right). Iāll be slowing down a bit and focusing on what Iāve got so far before adding more stuff.
Best of luck with your exam!

Never too early to start immersion. Your brain will start to learn how to parse the language. Plus, you never truly attain a word or grammar point until you hear it come up in immersion. Thatās when your brain realizes that this stuff youāve studied in SRS is used by real life people on the daily.
If you think about it, N5 has the most common grammar, so itās bound to come up multiple times in immersion. Rather that focusing on the fact that you canāt understand everything, focus on the low-hanging fruit. It turns into a fun game of spotting the stuff youāve learned 
Just like when you buy a car, then start to see other cars like it when you drive around, these things youāve learned in SRS will be popping up everywhere. Itās exciting

Immersion will start a little slowly, but youāll pick up speed way faster than you expect, so itās really worth sticking with it! Definitely check out the reading passages here, some graded readers and manga, whatever media you enjoy. I think enjoying it is the main thing, to be honest. If you enjoy what youāre doing, youāll be that more motivated to work through the difficult bits, and not toss it aside when youāre not quite getting something.
I started immersion pretty late myself because I was too afraid of what I didnāt know, but I think my understanding of the language skyrocketed when I started actually using what Iād drilled into my brain. N5 gives you a pretty decent foundation to start understanding some easier content, so go for it! Best of luck!

Iām interesed to learn more about immersion, but to make sure we are talking the same thing, could you give us the link about it or point us into the right direction.
thanks

At your (& my) levelā¦ for me at leastā¦nothing beats this:
Itās the āAsk Tadokuā Graded Readers. They have levels from 0-4, and I recommend starting with Level 1. The vocab āpoolā is the exact same from level 0 to level 1, so youāre not missing anything skipping Level 0 and starting at Level 1ā¦but the Level 1 uses a little more kanji, has vertical text, and reads right to leftā¦so itās a more ānatural levelā to begin with. Each level has multiple volumes, so itās a great place to get started with reading/immersion.
Iām honestly right where you are in your studiesā¦and these books are PERFECT for me to actually āunderstandā what Iām reading, yet each story has anywhere from 1-10 words that require looking upā¦so youāre still learning as you go. Itās great, and these mostly cover Bunpro N5 content. I really havenāt seen any grammear higher than that yet on the Level 1 books.
Almost done with Level 1 (all three volumes), and am starting Level 2 here soon. Will let you know how that ranks against Bunproās lessons. Cheers!

Just one point short of N5, but at long that medal is within reach*!
*At least I hope that the achievement it doesnāt expect me to master everything lmao
Btw, I also agree with others in terms of immersion - the earlier youāll start the better it is.
Iām still relatively new to it myself, but by reading stuff on my level fairly early on, Iāve been able to cement my knowledge considerably.
If you want yet another resource recommendation, Iāve been using Todai Reader on my phone.
(Its free version is kinda limited, but absolutely sufficient to start getting your foot into the door)

Just wanted to throw my favorite immersion YouTuber some love. She illustrates stories or conversations so even if you didnāt know a single word you could follow along. Her videos are great at an N5 level. She also has manual subtitles which help me a lot!

That sounds really helpful, thanks for the headās up!

I also did Immersion quite early!
I love reading Visual Novels and as soon as I knew kana I wanted to immerse!
The first 6-7 times were really hard I couldnāt even understand what was a particle or na-adjectives and it made me stop after trying to read 2 lines for an hour but the more I forced myself to read, the more I was able to grasp what I was reading, of course I did a lot of lookups but it felt very awesome.
I learned a lot of vocabulary with core 2K Anki deck and it got quite easier but of course, I still couldnāt get a lot of grammar I was reading, so when I heard about this website I really wanted to try it!
and here I am now!
Congrats on almost finishing the n5 deck!!
